SMOKERS SET.

Application led March 5,

To all whom t may ooncem:

Be it known that we7 LAWRENCE B. ERwIN and BERNARD W. OCONNELL, 4citizens of the United States, and residing in the city of New York, county of New York, and State of New York, and in the city of Minneapolis, county of Hennepin, and State of Minnesota, respectively, have' jointly invented a new and useful Improvement in Smokers Sets; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, such as will enable persons skilled in the art to which the invention pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing for a .disclosure of a construction in which the invention has been embodied.

The invention relates to smokers sets, de signed for desk or table use, and comprises a holder for cigars, an ash tray, cigar rests, and other adjuncts of devices of this kind.

In producing the invention we have been animated by a desire to construct a smokers set in which there shall be embodied features which will remind the users of the days spent in military camps or with the American expeditionary forces upon foreign battle fields. The result of this desire has been to produce a smokers set in the construction of which are embodied some tangible reminders in the form of parts of the camp equipment actually used in the military service.

Details of the construction of our improved smokers set will hereinafter be described, and pointed out in the claims appended to this specification.

In the drawingsl forming specification, Y

Figure 1 shows in elevation the arrangement of the elements constituting our invention.

Fig. 2 is a view in elevation from the right of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a detail of the locking mechanism for retaining the cigar holder `or stand in operative position, this view being taken on the line 3 3, of Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrow thereon.

Our invention consists of a rectangular base A, at one end of which we aiiix a post B, which latter may be in simulation of a bayonet. Midway in the length of the post we provide a hinge C so constructed that 4the pivot pin thereof willresemblev a cara part of this 192e. serial no. 363,585.

tridge. The cigar holder D is patterned after the cup of the mess kit, the pivoted handle d of which extends to and forms part of the hinge C. As parts of the hinge which unites the handle to the cup, we form projections d1, which are designed to receive a catch d2, sliding upon the handle d, which catch serves to hold the cigar holder in a vertical position with the mouth thereof uppermost. rEhe handle d is formed as shown in Fig. l with the vertical portions thereof suficiently separated to permit the cigar holder, when released by lifting the catch d2 to swing into the dotted line position indicated in Fig. 1, where it is held by friction'al contact.

At the upper end of the post B is a bracket E having a pin e set in the top of the post, which pin may be either fixed or arranged as a pivot. To the bracket E is attached the dish F, hich is usual tothe mess kit of the soldier and which is intended in the present construction to receive the ashes from the cigars. rlhe plate G acts as a cover for the dish F, when in the position shown by Jfull lines in 1. We attach a'strap H to the bottom of the plate, such strap being shown in Fig. 1 as attached to the topi of the cover for the dish. The said strap is hinged to the bracket E, so as to be thrown into the dotted line position indicated in the said Fig. 1 and thus open the ash tray for use. rlhe strap H is provided at its free end with a hook h which will snap over the edge of the tray, when the smokers'set is not in use.

-Posts I forming art of the rivets which connect the plate (E to the strap H carry a number of cigar rests i of usual f When the cover is folded into place upon the tray as described,.these cigar rests 'i pass tothe hollow of the ash tray, as shown in Fig. 1.l

A' stand J for supporting a box of matches in convenient position may be attached t0 the other end of the rectangular base.

' cigar cutter K of a proved form may be attached to the post We have herein described the construction of a smokers set, possessing neatness and utility, and presenting to the user in attractive and artistic form a reminder of the days spent in the service of the country in the struggle for the preservation of the rights of free men.

The manner of mounting the ash tray or receiver R on the post B, by means or' the pivot or socketed pin, permits the easy removal of the said tray from its support, for the purpose of disposing of the `accunfnilations.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

11. In a newv manufacture, -a smokers set composed of a base and a standard rising therefrom, an ash tray supported by the standard, a cover hinged to thetray and provided with cigar .rests at the underside thereof and which are adapted to pass into the tray when the cover is folded thereover, and a cigar holder having a handle pivoted to the standard at a point intermediate the base and the tray, the pivotal connection between the handle and the holder permitting Madea@ the latter to be turned into reversedv position within the handle.

2. As a new manufacture, a smokers set comprising a base and a standard rising therefrom, an ash tray supported at one end upon the standard, the said tray having a cover hinged at the same end and provided with cigar rests which are adapted to pass into the tray when the cover is folded thereover, and a cigar container pivoted to the standard at a point ybetween the base and the tray, and adapted to stand normally in a position underneath the tray.
